Pavel,

Up to know I build everything in my Home-Project (as I started only a few weeks ago). under home:dimstar there is currently SuperTuxKart 0.2 available for SuSE 10.1 and the binary of UFO:AI (not installable, as the question for the data file, which is 160MB has not been answered on the mailinglist yet. Most probably, I won't be able to provide UFO:AI as I initially wished, due to it's size. Try ask adriansS directly on irc. I personally vote for split data package into two or three sub-package. It will be more feasible for downloading too. For example wesnoth game, currently in BS went with simar approach.

For the last question about NoGravity, there were also no replies, thus I guess it's not built yet.

For 'Blob & Conquer' I did not do anything yet (excpet playing it :-) ) as I did not want to do any double work. I get it. That is exactly why you should move your packages into right directory. So you can easily check which games are packed, and which not. And of course all others packagers could do same. For example for ufo http://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=games%3Astrategy%3Aturn-based Just ask one of maintainers to add you to those projects.

Maybe it can be packaged (built) in a way that it is at least not built twentyfold, when only one rpm is suitable for more than one arch, or even for different distribution version? (Sounds entirely possible for a noarch package.) Then it wouldn't seem so daunting, and with a few hundred Megabytes it wouldn't actually use more space than (I guess) Apache which is built on 10 targets or so. The package meta understands 'disable' tags to disable build on certain targets.
